As A Writer, There Is Nothing More Lovable Than An Annoying Asshole Who Can Actually Read

as a writer, there is nothing more lovable than an annoying asshole who can actually read

thinking about han sooyoung's blind date in chap 487 where he basically opens the date by deriding her writing, specifically because she writes webnovels and he doesnt see them as valid stories worth telling. and then han sooyoung says past dates shes been on often said the same thing. he only seems impresses when he finds out the webnovel has made her rich - he doesnt value her writing at all, only its popularity. and then thats immediately contrasted by kim dokja sending her a message saying "hey, youve plagarised a story very dear to me", a story so unpopular hes the only reader. no wonder han sooyoung is so intensly jealous of the author of twsa. no wonder she takes offering to let kim dokja read her next novel so seriously. kim dokjas genuine love for her writing clearly matters so much to her and im so glad she found a reader in him.

The art process of this was that I woke up from a terrible 6 hour nap, downed a can of cheap wine, and immediately started drawing this

post epilogues

I put real effort into this

babe you’re not Kim Dokja pls stop trying to distance yourself from the narrative

another day of living, another day of overanalyzing the creation, his creator, and their worshipper (yoohankim) dynamics:

yjh tells hsy “I knew you wouldn't die from the beginning” in chapter 371 despite this being the arc where they learn to allow him his own autonomy. he ‘kills’ them both despite knowing neither would die, similar to how a deity’s creation can’t kill his own creator & how a god can’t kill his last follower.

the kills symbolized gaining his identity and autonomy, but it was a symbolic gesture and nothing more.

the three of them are still molecularly connected to the degree in which one could not live without the others, but Yoo Joonghyuk is the only one who wouldn’t exist without the other two
